First batch - 2008.
Second batch - August 2021.
Directly inspired by traditional saisons of the 19th century, beers meant to quench the thirsts of farm workers at harvest time, the Saison de la Senne is a beer of mixed fermentation. It is both bitter and aromatic thanks to particularly generous hopping, while at the same time developing a vinous and tangy character thanks to a blending with old lambic from the Cantillon brewery. Ripened in oak barrels for 9 months and listed at 4.3% abv.

bottled 2023 Super nice most leathery lambic aroma, the cantillon is definetly there, bit of sweeter malty spicy yeasty nuances from the saison. can't remember tasting a lambic/saison blend before. With the aroma, it works very well. Flavor is also pretty lambic like, only with some added faint sweeter malty notes, some yeast and some more bitterness. still lots of leather and sourness, very enjoyable and quaffable belgian sour.

Flaska. Lambicen från Cantillon är verkligen framträdande, det är syrligt, torrt och med en naturlig funkighet (den klassiska hästfilten). Samtidigt balanseras det av den söta ljusa saison-malten och, vad jag tolkar det som, en viss örtighet från saison-humlen.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - bottled on 23.03.2023, at One Pint Pub, 20240712) The beer poured golden and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had floralness, tartness, wood and vinous notes. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were floralness, fruitiness, tartness, vinous notes, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was tart, spicy and bitter. A tasty and complex brew.

330ml bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is musty, funky, white grape, gooseberry, white wine, damp wood, barnyard, citrus peel, lemon rind, hay and some spice. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, bone dry, oak, some tannin, spicy, deep funk, barnyard, damp basement, mouldy, hay, plenty of citrus, lemon rind, citron, grapefruit, gooseberry, white grape skin, must and just a hint of acidity with a drying, funky finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Lovely depth of flavour. Super funky. Lovely stuff.

Bottle, i think from Foeders. Definitely not out of production (I think?) as it's from Mar2023. Moderately hazy amber with decent head. Very funky bretty nose, big sour notes. Wow that's a super sour! Great flavors but not the full acidity punch like a Cantillon. Light fruit-like citrusy notes, slightly woody, it's a good blend of complex flavors.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy bright orange body with a white head that holds well. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of rhubarb and bitter lemon. Flavour of brett, bitter grapefruit and lemon. Medium body with a frothy texture. Very fizzy. Bright and vibrant. This was bottled 14 months ago and the funky yeast has really taken effect to result in a heady, zingy saison.
